Health and Business
Going to extremes in health and business.
Well, this is a first! I’ve worked with nutrition companies, weight loss companies and helped people with diet therapy, but this is a new word – Orthorexia (read more). Being on a stringent regimen-maybe raw food or vegetarian, just protein, fruit only, and not allowing for anything else.
That is intriguing. And yet I know people who really have this disorder. Sometimes we find ourselves wanting to be so perfect that mental barriers and limiting beliefs come up which actually keep us in a negative state.
I call this swinging of the pendulum in an unbalanced state of mind. You’ve experience this many times yourself in business. You don’t want to work on that project because you need to have more time set aside. So you don’t do it. You need to have more sales before you hire someone who will get you more sales.
You want to buy a new wardrobe but you deny yourself because your body still needs to lose weigh. So you stay in the same clothes that don’t really reflect how you feel.
There are people I know that didn’t want to get married because they needed to save up for the furniture to buy first.
I’ve explained in an earlier blog that the healthy way of eating is to eat in moderation. Denying yourself ruins your delight in living the day and does it really get you to your goal? And do you stay at that goal or do you bounce back to step one again? We need to be mindful in what choices we make.
Think about it. Let me know what is stopping you from doing what you want to do. Let’s change the perspective!
